Fruit juices

Stock up on fruit juices of your choice, which are the base for many mocktails. Orange juice, lime juice or cranberry juices are wonderful ways to begin making an exotic drink. Tropical drinks blended with peach-cranberry, or banana - mango give a delicious taste. For a real zing, try adding grapefruit or lemonade.

Fizzy beverages

Use fizzy drinks such as lemon-lime soda, Sprite, or tonic or make fizzy drinks by adding some ginger ale, tonic water, and club soda or lemon-lime soda. Try mixing them with different combinations of fruit juices for a mock tail cooler.

Grenadine syrup

You can purchase a small bottle of grenadine syrup if you want to imitate alcoholic cocktails. Grenadine will add sweetness to your cool drinks, along with a rosy red glow to orange or pineapple juice blends. Grenadine sometimes contains alcohol. Grenadine is sugary syrup that is flavoured with pomegranates.

Method: Bring juice to boil, reduce heat and mix in sugar, stirring continuously, until sugar dissolves. Allow to cool, refrigerate in a sterile glass bottle, for up to two weeks.

Tomato-juice

A lot of famous alcoholic cocktail drinks include tomato juice as a base, so try making drinks with tomato juice but replacing alcohol with lemonade or other juices.

Put the tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and other ingredients in a highball glass with plenty of ice.

While your drink must taste good it is important that it looks good too. There are simple ways to make drinks look appealing. You don’t have to buy expensive and very intricate designed glasses, simple glasses that have a colourful liquid garnished nicely will automatically look appetizing.

Rim of glasses

• You can dip rim of glass in coconut flakes as well.

Fruits

• Buy a cocktail stick, or short skewer, toothpick and then insert fruit cubes. Place across the glass and serve.

• Add cherries in a glass, of course these will sink to the bottom of the glass, so serve a small spoon alongside your drinks.

• Dip fruits into lemon juice, and then use these to garnish along the rim. Use strawberry, pineapple, apple, melon or banana, kiwi, orange, lemon slices to garnish along the top of rim of glass.

Ice

• You can either crush ice or simply serve ice cubes in drinks; both have their own effect in appearance of drink.

• Alternatively use colourful re-useable ice cubes that are widely available in stores.

• Try freezing orange juice, Ribena or any other drink in ice cube trays and serve these in your drinks.

Straws, Umbrellas & Stirrers

• Straws are not so expensive, simple ones will do just as well, and make you feel as if your having some fancy drink even if it’s simple juice.

• You can purchase umbrellas that are part of straws these are great as well to give a great exotic cocktail look.
